THE THREAT TO ORDER

In changing times, social orders crumble and chaos threatens. Shakespeare recognized the dramatic potential in this dynamic and explored both its comic and tragic implications. As we take a closer look at Twelfth Night, King Lear, The Tempest and Titus Andronicus, we see shameless social climbers and ruthless power-grabbers threaten various types of societies struggling to maintain order and keep chaos at bay.
